Morning break time has been much tastier in the office lately, thanks to the addition of this delicious gift crate we ordered from Persimmon Hill Farm. Specializing in homemade jams and butters, the company offers a gift crate where you can choose 6 of their gourmet fruit spreads for $39.25. They are shipped with two bags of buttermilk biscuit mix, which is the perfect base to try the wide variety of flavors. We chose some of the more exotic sounding spreads for our gift crate – 
Nutty Blue Goose Jam, Elderberry Preserves, Persimmon Butter, Gooseberry Walnut Jam, Sugar Free Plum Blackberry Fruit Spread and Apple Butter. I brought the biscuit mix home to bake, and the next morning we indulged on these spreads. My favorite turned out to be the Sugar Free Plum Blackberry spread, partially because it was sugar-free so I felt I could have a little more than I normally would have! The spread was thick, rich and full of flavor, which was surprising to me since it was also sugar free! My boss took the Persimmon Butter and hid in his office – not to be seen again until the jar was almost gone! He did finally share with the rest of us, and I found that the persimmon taste was light and crisp.
Overall the gift crate earned 5 stars in our office, and the website has made our list to “try more of these products”. We love that the spreads are made in small batches, just like homemade, and each batch is carefully tested to ensure perfect flavor every time. We all agree that these products would be great as a housewarming or retirement gift, and we look forward to sampling more great flavors from Persimmon Hill Farm!
